Level 5. You had a great write-up and it's all great advice, but it's hundreds of hours away from me currently.

I came back to the server a few weeks ago, and had a pre-nerf CoS I'd bought years ago on my necro, along with some other stuff I could salvage/sell to roll up my new character. When someone brought up velious armor with the clicky bp for a druid, I made the decision right then to tag mobs in Kael to get faction.

I was actually at your <Anonymous> open raid in Kael this weekend, and was the wood elf slinging fireballs at your giants during plate cycle. It was really nice of you guys to let me tag along on that, by the way. It was what got me my faction for thurg armor.

I really appreciate your post though. It's a good outlook to have. I'll take it to heart.

Glad to hear you enjoyed our raid [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

For what it's worth, I leveled my Druid from 1 to 60 with virtually no twink gear (I did throw a Fungi on him for some of the last few levels, but just because I happened to have it on him; it didn't help that much). For most of the time most of his slots were either completely empty or just something like "rough leather armor, 3 AC".

IMHO Druids literally need no gear at all, and could go from 1 to 60 completely nekid, except for the garbage items they loot while leveling and just two items: Goblin Ghazughi Ring (for animal charming) and Luminescent Staff (for quadding). And honestly you can charm all the way to 60 if you want, so really only the ring is "necessary" (and even it isn't, it just makes animal charming nicer vs. having to cast Invis vs. Animals on yourself).

Those two items, some jewelry I happened to have lying around, and the aforementioned fungi for a few later levels, were quite literally all I gave my Druid (even though Loramin could easily have farmed many other items for him if I'd wanted). Every other slot was crap I picked up while leveling or empty, and I never had any gear envy whatsoever as I sailed to 60.

So if you have any plat left, get yourself that ring, but otherwise you really don't need to worry about gear: I can attest that you don't need it at all to take your Druid to 60.

hi

We won't help with reimbursement of items, but we are happy to help you find out what went wrong.

The logs show you both turned in the correct items. If the NPC was preloaded with gems the player that sold you the MQ would have received the legs, but in this case he didn't.

You turned in the gems about 30 seconds later so 1 of two things likely happened.

1. Another player sniped your legs(unlikely)
2. The player selling the MQ didn't have the right faction.

I won't put that player on blast, but happy to provide you with his name if you PM me or make a petitions / exploits forums post. You can reach out to him about trying to make it right.

Can you actually see if a player hands in gems unstacked or not? Im not doubting OP at all that he did, just wondering myself if guides can see that sort of thing.

Thank you so much! Sending you a PM right now so I can try and track down the seller. We were the only two people in the room, so I know no-one else could have sniped the legs. The turn-in lag was due partially to a misunderstanding on exactly when he turned in the legs, and my ultra paranoia on making sure I had the right gems.

You're a lifesaver.

Pretty sure you can't hand stacks to NPCs. You'll get an error message

Yeah, we can see stacks, the (1) is the number in a stack.

Re: Mendens details...

Damn that player 100% owes you your money back since he didnt have the correct faction, aka 100% his fault.

I would be asking him in private first then if he does a runner name and shame him.

It's possible you didn't have enough faction also, I seem to remember legs/BP needing a slightly higher faction level for turn in than things like gloves/wrist/arms/boots. You could verify this by asking the NPC "what leggings" or whatever the quest dialogue is.

This isn't true. All Thurg armor quests require kindly faction.
